  2. Making Experimentation a Science • Issue: How do you make experimental results verifiable and “repeatable” ? • Proposals • Publish data sets, annotated as much as possible • Publish code, especially if using a publicly available platform • Network Emulation • Make the whole process of presenting results close to how a “proof” is presented Rice University

  3. Where is the Platform Which Helps me ? • Issue: I have to spend years making a platform • Unpublishable • It does not do what I want it to do • “They” do not provide me the APIs • By the time I get the platform, it is useless. Commodity hardware does more. • Proposals: Little consensus (FPGA/GPU/GPP) • Continued $ important to build platforms (NSF/GENI) • Important to build human capital to extend/use the platform • Roadmap for RF capabilities • My take: If you need it, you will have to spend the time/money Rice University

  4. Role of Simulations • Issue: Revisit ? • Models • System level modeling accuracy unestablished/unclear • How do we proceed for the new modalities (cognitive/DSA) • Proposal: • Not be afraid of ns-2/802.11 fiasco • Simulations are great for indicating coarse trends • Closer to emulation by using real data • A combination of analysis, simulations & experiments Rice University

  5. Cool Idea of Day • Grass-root efforts can be quite powerful • SETI@home • UC Riverside, use motion sensors for early earthquake detection • Can we somehow use currently deployed hardware to collect spectrum usage statistics • A lot of WiFi devices • Programmable cellular devices • Sparse deployments of GNUradio like setups Rice University
